Oh You Who Have Been High and Mighty! Stephen Hanson
“Thy terribleness hath deceived thee, and the pride of
thine heart, O thou that dwellest in the clefts of the
rock, that holdest the height of the hill: though thou
shouldest make thy nest as high as the eagle, I will
bring thee down from thence, saith the LORD.” Jeremiah
49:16.
“Oh you that have been high and mighty, know that I will
bring you down, says the LORD.
Oh you, that in your pride and arrogance think that you
are the answer to the world’s woes, your time has come.
But your time has not come to be seated on your great
throne.
Your velvet tapestries, your gold, and your luxurious
things, will be your demise. And then what will you do?
Will you go to your high tower and sulk? I tell you that
a great upset is coming. I tell you that a great turn
around is coming.
The committees will meet, and a decision will be made.
A show down is coming, and emotions will run high.”
Selah,
~ Stephen Hanson
Isaiah 2
11 The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the
haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the Lord
alone shall be exalted in that day.
12 For the day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon every
one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is
lifted up; and he shall be brought low:
13 And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and
lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan,
14 And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the
hills that are lifted up,
15 And upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall,
16 And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all
pleasant pictures.
17 And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the
haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the Lord alone
shall be exalted in that day.
18 And the idols he shall utterly abolish.
19 And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and
into the caves of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and
for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake
terribly the earth.
20 In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and
his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself
to worship, to the moles and to the bats;
21 To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops
of the ragged rocks, for fear of the Lord, and for the
glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly
the earth.
22 Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils:
for wherein is he to be accounted of ?
